In this first installment of the Need for Speed SHIFT<\/em> pre-release coverage, we start off by getting to know what this game will be all about. I will also give you a few extras, so read on\u2026<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Overview<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Need for Speed\u2122 SHIFT<\/em> is an all-new simulation racing IP that combines the true driver\u2019s experience with real-world physics, pixel-perfect car models, and a wide range of authentic race tracks. Need for Speed SHIFT<\/em> takes players in a different direction to create a simulation experience that replicates the true feeling of driving high-end performance cars.<\/p>\n

Players are thrust into the loud, visceral, intense, athletic experience of racing a car on the edge of control from the driver\u2019s perspective through the combination of perception based G-forces, the hyper reality of the cockpit view, and the brutal experience of a first person crash dynamic. Need for Speed SHIFT<\/em> features an accurate, accessible physics-based driving model that allows you to feel every impact, every change of track surface and every last bit of grip as you push yourself to the edge.<\/p>\n

The all-new driver profile is the ultimate extension of the true driver\u2019s experience. This system gives each player a unique persona based on a player\u2019s driving skill and style – aggressive or precise. Driver profile impacts how a player unlocks cars, overall career progression and online matchmaking. In Need for Speed SHIFT<\/em>, how you drive is who you are behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

Need for Speed SHIFT<\/em> is being developed by Slightly Mad Studios in collaboration with Black Box and senior vice president Patrick Soderlund at EA Games Europe. Slightly Mad Studios includes developers and designers that worked on the critically acclaimed games GT Legends<\/em> and GTR 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n
